The Archbishop of Canterbury said yesterday that the things that hurt him most
were often done by other Christians.

He prayed for unity within the “fractured” Anglican church, divided deeply
over women bishops and homosexuality.

Justin Welby also said that a Church of England without Jesus at the centre
was no different from “Rotary with a pointy roof”. The Archbishop later
clarified that he was a fan of Rotary, but went on to warn against faction
fighting in the Church.

Christians needed to accept that “very often the biggest wounds we experience
will come from other Christians,” he said.
